Re: Alexander from West Coast of NF

Look in Canada's phone book - www.canada411.com - under "Newfoundland" and put your surnames in. Hundreds of each one will pop up. Those people living in the phone exchanges starting with "64*" are all potential "cousins". The largest population centre is Stephenville (643- exchange).

Nfld never had counties like the rest of North America, so don't look for any. Your people would have been Anglican (Episcopalian in USA) or Catholic - there were no other religions in Nfld until WW II. Good luck !
